I've read many stories from different parts of the world translated into English, and they often have strong similarities and parallels. They're often told they "have to go back," it's "not their time." I guess nowadays I lean more in the direction of believing.

A truly scientific mind can't explain the strong similarities between the stories people, who have been clinically dead, tell without admitting there's an afterlife. The thought process can't go on for minutes after death if there's no soul, and even if there were some way for thoughts to continue, there's no biological reason to explain stories of angelic beings that are so common with these stories.

The Jews try to brainwash us to be atheistic. Of course most Jews are 100 percent materialistic. You wonder if they just cease to exist completely at death and if most Jews are just soulless beings.

Re: Heaven is real, says neurosurgeon who claims to have visited the afterlife

Oh, here we go.

You know, I died for a bit when I was 3 years old. I had a severe reaction to Penicillin and had what is called "Steven Johnson's syndrome"

Anyway, I remember being in an all white room, with an all white bed, with all white doctors in their all white coats silently rolling up this huge ball of white yarn, like they were putting my life back together.

Well blueearth, I don't mean to offend. I am not an Atheist. However, my "religion" if you will, is Asatru'.... I believe in many Gods.

What I experienced can not be explained by me, but perhaps by someone else?

I have no fear of death really. The only fear I have is that I may die too young and my children will not have their Mother to care for them, although they are both in their teens.

Death is inevitable.. but, I also believe that we do go on, somewhere, someplace and that brings me peace.

Re: Heaven is real, says neurosurgeon who claims to have visited the afterlife

This is just fascinating.

I am a very skeptical person by nature, but stories of glimpsing Heaven or God after experiencing death are just too consistent, too sincere, to shrug off easily.

Christian Scripture does state that the soul arrives in Heaven immediately after death. This must mean that it is possible for the soul to arrive in Heaven and then return again in cases when the Earthly body is revived. So, if Scripture is indeed true, a person who fully dies should supposedly glimpse Heaven, and nearly everyone in that position claims to have.

Another fascinating case was that of a man -- whose name I can't now remember -- that burned alive in a plane crash in an Alaskan forest for upwards of ten minutes before he regained consciousness, and, almost in defiance of the very laws of physics, managed to break out of his plane wreckage while engulfed in flames. While in the hospital, he died several times, and each time he died he immediately found himself in a realm of bright light where he had visions of Christ standing in a boat, telling him that he had more things left to do on Earth before his soul was to be claimed. That man somehow miraculously healed back to health and became a minister.

Actually, this story has nothing to do with theology. It is a story about a neurologist describing what he saw after briefly dying of meningitis. That is not theology, and in fact it isn't even religion. Observing something directly, if anything, falls under the realm of science.

I imagine you do, and many of the other vocal atheists as well. It must be a difficult subject for you. But no one's saying you have to participate in discussion.
